For a subspace En of n points of E, converging in Hausdorff distance to E, we construct a metric dn on En, based only on the knowledge of D d on En and establish a sharp upper bound of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between (En, dn) and (E, d). %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01162490v4/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01162490v4/file/reco2.pdf %L hal-01162490 %U https://hal.science/hal-01162490 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ I2M %~ I2M-2014- %~ TEST3-HALCNRS
